Problems solved by technology

But the disadvantage of SPE electrolyzer is that it is expensive
At present, the commonly used PEM is DuPont's Nafion series. The cost of this membrane is relatively high, and in terms of catalyst selection, due to the strong acidity of the proton exchange membrane after immersion in water, the selection of catalyst metals is almost completely limited to platinum. , ruthenium, iridium and other precious metals and their alloys and oxides, and the electrolyzer made of this type of catalyst must use an ultra-pure water system to reduce catalyst poisoning
These have seriously restricted its widespread use

preparation example Construction

[0045]The preparation method of the membrane electrode provided by the present invention includes coating a catalyst slurry containing a catalyst, a membrane solution, a binder and a solvent on a porous support layer to form a cathode and an anode catalytic electrode, and stacking the cathode and anode catalytic electrodes respectively to both sides of the basic polymer anion exchange membrane, and then pressed together by a hot press to form a three-in-one membrane electrode.

[0046] In the present invention, the introduction of the support layer improves the mechanical strength of the membrane electrode, increases the pressure resistance range of the electrolytic cell during electrolysis of water, and can also be used as a carrier for catalyst attachment. The support layers for the cathode and anode can be the same or different. The support layer can be divided into carbon fiber-based and metal-based support layers. Carbon fiber includes carbon paper, carbon cloth, carbon ...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a membrane electrode for water electrolysis and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen is regarded as the most ideal energy carrier due to its cleanliness, non-polluting, high efficiency, storability and transportation. At present, many countries have invested a lot of research funds in the development of hydrogen energy systems. [0003] Hydrogen production from water electrolysis is currently the most widely used technology to convert renewable resources into hydrogen. When a direct current is applied to two electrodes (cathode and anode) immersed in the solution, water is decomposed and hydrogen and oxygen are produced at the cathode and anode, respectively. This process is the electrolysis of water. A membrane is added between the two electrodes, and the device for separating hydrogen and oxygen is an electrolytic cell. After the earliest phenomenon of water electrolysis was observe...
